Lagos state Governor, Raji Fashola (SAN) got the bashing of his life on

Facebook

after saying *lagos won't vote for GEJ*...

Please see the full script of
his interview and the images of bashing that trailed his comment;

Governor
Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, yesterday, alleged that President
Goodluck Jonathan, since assumption of office in 2011, never responded
to the needs of Lagos residents, saying, “at our time of needs, he did
not respond to our pleas.”
Meantime, the Independent national
Electoral Commission, INEC, will today commence distribution of
Permanent Voter’s Card, PVC in the polling units across the state.

Fashola
spoke at the All Progressives Congress, APC Campaign rally at the
Ifako-Ijaiye Mini-stadium, Ifako-Ijaiye Local Government Area, which
also had in attendance the party Governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi
Ambode among other dignitaries.

The governor noted that the
president remembered residents of Lagos few weeks ago when he visited
the state and spent five days holding meetings and distributing
different hard currencies to people.

According to him, “For four
years, the President didn’t respond to the needs of residents of Lagos.
This is not about where he comes from but it is about the quality of job
that he had done for the residents of Lagos. The only time the
President started working was few weeks to election.

“The
president can come to Lagos because it is part of his constituency. “But
we will not vote for him in the forthcoming election. This was because
when we needed him, he didn’t come to our rescue.

“When the
Muhammed Mohammed International Airport, MMIA Road failed, we didn’t see
him. When Lagos Island began to experience flood and the flood was
about to wipe out a whole estate, he didn’t come to Lagos. When I took
him to Ibeju-Lekki where they were losing their lands, that day was the
last I heard from the President. I wrote several letters to appeal to
the President but he didn’t respond.
“All the infrastructure in Lagos
were built by taxes paid by Lagos residents. He can come to Lagos 200
times, we will not vote for him.”

Fashola, however, appealed to residents to obtain their PVCs, saying no fewer than 1.4m were still uncollected.
He stressed that, “the PVC is very strategic if the people must have a say in the coming elections.”

Fashola
said that another window of opportunity would open today (Friday,
February 27) for residents without the PVCs to pick up their PVCs.

“INEC
has returned the cards distribution to polling units. The collection
exercise will run from today (Friday) till Sunday.”Fsashola said.

However,
Ambode, in his address urged the electorate not to sell their PVCs,
saying “We have heard that dollars are being distributed in exchange for
PVC. I will say collect it, it is your money but don’t give them your
cards. They are giving you dollars because they have destroyed Naira.

“They
are now asking for another four years to further destroy the country,
we are saying no to them. We are for change at the centre and continuity
in Lagos.

“Our youths are not lazy but just lack opportunity to
excel. That is what we are bringing to the state by continuity. We want
progress, we want safe Nigeria, for the economy to get better.

We
will work together and make Lagos work for all of us to be more
prosperous. That is what APC represents. Those of you without PVC should
go and get it, but never sell it,” Ambode urged residents again.
